I've got a few problems I'm hoping some of the gurus around here can help me with. I've got a page using tables for the layout, and I'm trying to replicate that page using CSS. The problems I'm having are that some of the columns don't show up (the gray left- and right-hand sides) and all the columns don't extend to the bottom of the page. I think the main issue is why I'm having problems getting the main (center) content to have a gray background and the content elements within it to have a black background...

Another thing I found was the use of <body bgcolor="#000000">.Again, like <center>, this shouldn't be done. Instead, in your CSS, in the body styling, put this:

Code:

body
{
background: #000000;
}

Notice the use of a lot of CSS in styling. Try to use it as much as possible.

Also, I noticed that lots of your text was black on black background - so I couldn't read it. I changed that, as you'll see in the below amended code. Also, lots of your elements had stuff like id's, but in the css you refered to them as having classnames, so therefore they weren't getting styling. I only fixed a few, so there could be more.

So below I've pasted in the amended code with the above changes I've said, so see how that works, however there could be more for you to do, I've just started you off, and as I said, I'll keep working on the column problem.

[btw, i'd consider running your site through the xhtml and css validator ad w3.org, just to make sure - it doesn't hurt]
